A traditional recipe that hasn’t yet lost its identity, one of my family favorites…<\/p>\n

A dish very close to my taste buds as I grew up having this on every special occasion and during all family gatherings. This is often made by my grandma, my mom, and my aunts, surprisingly all of them make this particular dish so perfectly. This recipe has been passed down for generations in my family. My mom used to make this often so I never actually missed this or never had the craving for having this. But now living miles apart from my mom, I have a frequent craving for eating this. I couldn’t rush to any restaurant to have this as it’s not served in any restaurants here and not even in India. There was no other way but to make it by myself in my kitchen. To satisfy my taste buds, I tried making this four years ago for the first time and it turned out to be a big hit. Since then I make this whenever I get a craving.<\/p>\n

The origin of this dish is definitely from South India, it’s popular in some parts of Tamil Nadu and in Kerala (Malabar and Cochin). It is known as Chakkoli in Tamil Nadu and Trivandrum and as Thakkidi in Malabar.<\/p>\n

You need to spare some time to make this as it involves a few steps, like making the rice dumpling, cooking the chicken, and finally combining the dumplings and chicken in a coconut sauce. The making of dumplings might be a little tiresome, but the best part is if you have kids they are going to volunteer to make this as they find it really fun playing with the rice dough, believe me, I used to do this when I was a kid.<\/p>\n

Today, on Eid day I couldn’t think of any better dish than this so made this. I felt as if all my family members were sitting with me around the dining table enjoying this dish. This dish made my Eid special and homely.<\/p>\n

Hope everyone had a wonderful Eid celebration with family and friends.<\/p>\n
